addie loves the temple. like, really. loves everything about it. the other day, at the breakfast table, she announced (for the 2,000th time), "i det may-eed duh tempuh." [did you catch that? if not, translation: "i'll get married in the temple."]
me: mm-hmmm. i hope so, honey.
addie: yes! i det may-eed uh chah-ee. [i'll get married to charlie.]
me: to charlie? no way, silly!
carson [a bit concerned]: addie, you CAN'T marry charlie. you CAN'T! because charlie can't go in the temple. and if you did marry him, you'd have puppy-baby-babies. and that's...[long pause, searching for the right word]...weird.
me: [silent laughter. that's the best reason he could come up with for not marrying a canine?]
addie: oh. otay. i det may-eed duh tempuh, and chah-ee stay outside. i say, 'outside, chah-ee!' den det may-eed. duh tempuh.
sweet. problem solved.
